TheBrain 8 beta
11/3/2013
I've upgraded my stand-alone license for TheBrain 7 to the Pro Combo product so I can take advantage of the final version of TheBrain 8 when it comes along. I was impressed by the web brain implement...
Perhaps you're fighting against Scrivener -- expecting it to be one bird when it's really another bird? There are many ways to work with Scrivener in an outliner-style hierarchy of texts -- two of th...
The wonderful Numbers
10/31/2013
Yes -- outlines are gone from Pages. All three of the new iWork apps on OS X Mavericks are ugly and dumbed down. I enjoyed working with Pages and Numbers in their pre-Mavericks state. They were pl...

TheBrain is a Java JAR with XML for the data stores. Not a great combo for heavy volumes of data -- either for individual elements or in the aggregate. Java field management is error-prone an...
TheBrain 8 beta
10/27/2013
There is a beta available for TheBrain 8 (http://www.thebrain.com/products/thebrain/download/beta/)
"Over 50 New Features" (http://www.thebrain.com/products/thebrain/thebrain-8). The first of the 5...
This is what fuels firms such as Y Combinator and their peers. It is cheaper and offers more control for the money crowd to find small handsful of hungry (literally) young developers with product ide...
NoteTab for note-taking
10/17/2013
For nvPY (and I think all Notational Velocity clones) Simplenote is just an option -- the others are Dropbox and any other folder you wish to use.

NoteTab for note-taking
10/16/2013
I'm assuming Windows. There's a Notational Velocity clone that sync with Simplenote, Dropbox, or a vanilla local folder. Keeps plain its notes in plain text. Has the sidebar note list. Renders Mar...
Aeon Timeline
10/14/2013
I agree -- that's an occasional topic on Aeon's support forum. There's a fixed set of entities {object, organization, person, place, project, technology, theory, time span} and each entity interacts ...
Aeon Timeline
10/13/2013
Looks like Aeon Timeline is now available for Windows in addition to OS X. (See it at scribblecode.com.) On Mac, Aeon will sync with Scrivener, but that feature is not yet available on Windows. IM...
New Ipad, what apps to put on it?
10/10/2013
I notice that MagicalPad is planning to release a desktop version (Mac only, probably) later "this Fall". They've added iCloud syncing on the iPad app and have released an iPhone instance, also sync...
Evernote 5 is here

Yes, I'd think it would be. Evernote is not the tool for that kind of volume, or for the other features you mentio...
Evernote 5 is here
10/8/2013
Evernote 5 has been around for Mac for a while (currently on v5.4). The Windows version is very similar, but some Mac features are not yet present. The most obvious of these is the full-screen "Pre...
Text-based workflow
9/8/2013
LOL, I have folders of "maybe someday it will be great" stuff on my iPad -- in fact I keep Circus Ponies on the main screen just in case it becomes useful.

Don't want to be a flack - but there's an update to iThoughtsX that has a "fix: .opml association".
File formats that iThoughtsX will open -- developer FAQ:
http://toketaware.com/ithoughtsx-features/
Hmmm. Strange. There's no "Import" command in iThoughtsX 1.2, but over here File > Open will import OPML without problems. Not all OPML files are created equal. The OPML standard is loose - but I j...
iThoughtsX -- iThoughts on the desktop
8/30/2013
The past few days there was an update for iThoughtsX -- I don't recall if opening OPML worked before the update, but it does today ;-)
(BTW, it's File > Open, there is no File > Import yet.)

iThoughtsX -- iThoughts on the desktop
8/23/2013
Craig Scott of toketaWare -- author of the excellent iThoughtsHD app on IOS -- has released iThoughtsX for Mac. A very nice port of iThoughts to the desktop. If Craig's dedication to continuous impr...
Delineato
8/18/2013
With the recent update on Scapple (Windows beta) thought I would mention Delineato. A Mac-only "diagramming and mindmapping" application.

Bento end-of-life -- what next?
8/4/2013
Had not considered TapForms -- thank you for the tip. I've had moderate success importing a Bento-exported CSV into TapForms. It seems a "date" field in Bento doesn't export in a way that TapForms r...
Bento end-of-life -- what next?
8/2/2013
Now that FileMaker (Apple) has announced Bento is at end-of-life, I'm curious what light-weight "database" options the community might suggest. Either OS X or Windows.
